00:11 According to experts, breastfeeding is important to avoid illness, nutrition, and especially stunting or breastfeeding of babies.
00:20 The World Health Assembly targets to increase exclusive breastfeeding to 50% by 2025.
00:28 But based on the average breastfeeding prevalence rate in the country from 2018 to 2021, the Philippines has already reached the target.
